Phantom Art Gallery Lighting
Art galleries invest millions of dollars to promote the preservation, promotion, and sale of fine art.As such, art gallery lighting is more than a convenience or an adjunct support to display. Because of the diverse and often delicate nature of gallery art, lighting equipment must deliver the highest technical sophistication and aesthetic compliment to the occasion. Phantom Lighting has helped light art galleries in
Art gallery lighting also presents a challenge whose difficulty rises in direct proportion to the number of fixtures and bulbs involved in the endeavor. Excessive wattage can create either glare or excessive brightness that detracts from art itself. Beams that are too wide will often cast distracting shadows behind pieces, pulling the eye away from the aesthetics of the display. Phantom Contour projectors represent a new line of art gallery lights that by their very design work to balance wattage and photometric qualities, allowing a curator to adjust the art light in the gallery to precise levels and points of illumination. Particularly for three-dimensional art, this customization of light to art can create the illusion that the light itself if a product of the piece, with the actual lighting source remaining inconspicuous and hidden from the viewer.
Another benefit that Phantom Projectors offer to art gallery lighting is the photometric equivalent to natural light with none of its damaging effects. In terms of optimal color rendering, the natural spectrum of sunlight offers the best level of detail. However, the serious art collector and art professional know fully well the dangers that UV and Infrared light pose to paint and canvas integrity. Natural light in an art gallery is the last thing a curator wants, as it can literally destroy the aesthetic and financial value of an entire collection. Yet many standard art lights simply rank too low on the color-rendering index to sufficiently illuminate detailed work. How does Phantom Lighting resolve this? By designing our projectors with sophisticated halogen lights that mimic the natural spectrum, and by utilizing patented filters and lenses to block UV an Infrared rays, we can produce art gallery lighting that both protects the piece and customizes itself to the piece.
